Management API gives wrong timezone for profiles until updated from GA settings


Name of affected component: Management API

Issue summary:

If profile's timezone is never updated through the GA settings (this view: 
https://www.google.com/analytics/web/?hl=en&pli=1#management/Profile/<id>/%3Fpro
file.tabId%3DeditProfile/) the API reports timezone as "America/Los_Angeles" 
even though the timezone for the profile is different. 

Once you change the timezone from the GA settings, the API returns it correctly.

Steps to reproduce issue:
1. New GA profile that doesn't have timezone changed (but other than Los 
Angeles)
2. Request profile list from Management API:
https://www.googleapis.com/analytics/v3/management/accounts/~all/webproperties/~
all/profiles?key={YOUR_API_KEY}

Expected output:
Correct timezone

Actual results:
America/Los_Angeles
